Foggy

Foggy, 12°, very light S.

A foggy walk out to Lollingdon relying on ears rather than eyes today as visibility was poor. The fog lifted slightly around midday but stayed misty and overcast and as soon as I got back home around 14:00, the sun came out!

No numbers today as I could not see most of them, Fieldfare and Redwing heard frequently and the odd Song Thrush, also Blackbird and Mistle Thrush in the mist.

About Me

I have always had a passion for wildlife and the environment; I have been birding now for quite a few years. I moved from Chelsea to Cholsey, Oxfordshire when I was 9 years old.

My main influence was my old Cholsey school headmaster W.D.(Bill)Campbell. He inspired my interest in wildlife. I have travelled widely on a global scale(ex Royal Navy), and in the 80’s I got into twitching, travelled a lot observing rare birds that turned up in the UK. I have been birding in the Cholsey(and Oxfordshire)area since the early 1970’s and since moving back to Cholsey from Wallingford I have focused more on my local patches of Lollingdon Hill and Cholsey Marsh but all of Cholsey is included.
